[06:40] morning all [08:15] Morning Kilos [08:15] hi paddatrapper === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [09:54] Morning Kilos, paddatrapper [09:55] hi superfly [10:56] Hey superfly === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [14:37] good afternoon [14:38] hi magespawn [14:45] how goes it Kilos ? [14:45] ok ty magespawn and there [14:46] bit chilly today [14:46] but otherwise all good [14:55] hey Kilos [14:55] Hey magespawn [14:55] hi pavlushka [14:56] yes magespawn [14:56] back [14:57] wb [14:59] computer locked trying to play a video file [14:59] ouch [15:01] very small pc aspire one, so not too surprising really [15:04] physically small? [15:04] or ram and performance small [15:05] both [15:05] whew [15:06] but handy to carry every where [15:15] thinking about getting a new machine, perhaps before the end of the year [15:18] laptop? [15:18] they are expensive things [15:19] but if you hunt around you can get bargains [15:19] ian paid 2.5k for this i5 [15:36] and it you wait for the specials then you can also get good deals [16:48] Kilos: 2nd hand or new? [16:48] good morning everyone [16:49] 2.5K for an i5 sounds like a good deal [17:19] rebuild inetpro [17:20] how do I undo an apt-get install dist-upgrade? [17:32] no idea kulelu88 [17:32] fek [17:33] what broke kulelu88 [17:34] I need to revert back to an older kernel [17:35] cant you chose on booting in the grub menu [17:35] how do I access the grub menu on a remote server? [17:36] oh my [17:37] can you still access the computer? [17:39] yeah, everything works, I can ssh into it [17:40] I just need to undo my installs [17:40] although I am now just upgrading to 16.04 [17:40] i think there is a way that you edit grub manually to specifiy which kernel to use [17:44] Or uninstall the kernel you don't want [17:47] superfly: won't I need to uninstall everything the dist-upgrade installed? [17:48] try booting with the old kernel first kulelu88 [17:48] I have no idea how to boot remotely [17:48] uh oh! [17:49] you can do sudo shutdown now -r but only after you have specified the kernel to use [17:50] should be relatively simple to change but I haven't done it since grub2 [17:50] I mean before grub2 [17:50] Just uninstall the old kernel. Grub will rerun and you should be fine [17:50] what does ubuntu use as a boot loader now/ [17:50] ? [17:50] do what superfly suggests [17:51] Depends on the versions began the kernels of course [17:51] *between [17:51] let me try upgrading to 16.04 instead. LXD wasn't working before the dist-upgrade either [17:52] I'm busy getting kids to bed, I'll chat more about our when I'm done [17:53] *it [17:53] kulelu88: just hold on [17:53] alright, no problem. just reading up about upgrading LTS. [17:54] hi nlsthzn [17:57] uncle Kilos, alo [18:03] all well in ZA land I hope?! [18:04] yip just winter again, how bout there [18:05] apart from the country gradually falling apart, all is well [18:06] hot as hell but that is to be expected [18:28] nlsthzn: i think that we are currently at the other end of that [18:28] well the heat has to go someplace :p [18:29] lol [18:29] indeed and we have had a mild winter so far [18:29] yeah but still eina cold [18:30] hot > cold [18:32] can always put on more clothes, can't get more naked than naked [18:32] hahaha [18:33] I disagree with that. There is only a certain amount of clothes you can wear before you become immobile [18:33] or before the clothes start tearing [18:33] i agree [18:34] kulelu88: if you want to upgrade from release to release (or LTS to LTS) you need to use the do-release-upgrade command [18:34] superfly: I wanted to get LXD running on 14.04. I want to avoid systemd as best I can, but 14.04 is wonky with LXD [18:35] how is/was debconf? superfly [18:35] kulelu88: systemd is more hype than anything else. [18:35] kulelu88: good, tiring. [18:35] kulelu88: people really enjoyed it [18:35] its also bloatware superfly . linux shouldn't have such a large dependency . apparently you can remove it from debian jessie easily without breaking anything? [18:36] * nlsthzn still wants to check out some of the vids [18:36] I would have come for it, but cape town in winter ... [18:37] kulelu88: it was hardly winter [18:37] some cold nights, and 1 rainy day [18:37] "It was a very good DebConf... the best so far. (and Daytrip, Conference Dinner: I doubt some other DebConf could do better)" [18:37] gents, I go sleep... have a good one [18:37] nlsthzn: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2016/debconf16/ [18:37] night nlsthzn [18:37] sleep tight [18:38] * superfly is in the process of putting them up on the site [18:38] thanks superfly... [18:38] good night oom Kilos [18:38] you tinkered with Devuan? superfly [18:38] what's the link to the debconf videos? [18:38] i ssaid night to nlsthzn inetpro [18:38] kulelu88: negative [18:38] keep up man [18:38] hehe [18:38] ah [18:38] kulelu88: the one I posted for nlsthzn [18:38] * inetpro would have loved to follow the conference, but... [18:39] that's download no? I want to stream it [18:39] inetpro: alweer in 'n dwaal [18:39] kulelu88: in Firefox that'll stream it [18:39] hahaha [18:39] there's just not enough time in a day [18:39] nog steeds [18:39] ai! [18:43] I guess I should upgrade to 16.04 and hope LXD works :D [18:43] superfly: is a rolling release better for servers or a stable? [18:43] kulelu88: don't use a rolling release on a server [18:43] kulelu88: stable or Ubuntu LTS [18:44] http://gizmodo.com/apollo-11s-source-code-is-a-surprisingly-hilarious-arti-1783415335 [18:44] is there such a thing where you get a rolling release that releases stable features? [18:44] eg. a rolling release that releases stable kernel updates? [18:48] server software should always be tried and tested extensively [18:48] ok now i sleep. night all. rest well [18:49] see you tomorrow [18:49] good night Kilos [18:49] now inetpro [18:49] goeienag Kilos [18:50] too late [18:55] superfly: are you guys using docker yet? [18:56] kulelu88: yes [18:56] what do you guys use for build automation? [18:58] Go-CD [18:58] http://go.cd/ [19:00] we have containers running Go-CD, and then we mount docker's socket from the container back to the host machine so that the host machine does the actual builds, and then push the builds up to a repository [19:00] (very meta) [19:06] kulelu88: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2016/debconf16/systemd_in_Debian_a_status_update.webm [19:48] i am also off to bed, good night all [21:39] I was going to watch that video just now superfly
